You assume quite a lot.

 

Our TOS is broad, and we have policies that we enact.  There are threads in this forum (here's one) going over and over what is and isn't allowed.  And EVERY THREAD where a question of TOS-Abiding comes to light, one thing is repeated over and over.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, CONTACT A STAFF MEMBER.

Don't post it and say "oh, if it's not ok, please delete".  For several reasons, including if we have to delete/move a thread you post, it goes in your member record against you.  We don't like to have to do that, which is WHY every staff member parrots the same line.  ASK ME, PLEASE.  We're here to help you!

 

Anyway, the reason that you may have found none is that they were already moved to the proper forum, the 3D Links forum.  Several of them, actually.  Others were just removed from the forum for repetitiveness.  The point is, this is the POSER forum.  If Smith Micro wants to advertise that they've got a new version coming, great.  It's the company that makes Poser telling Poser users that a new version of Poser is coming out.  I already wrote a diatribe in that thread discussing why we leave their posts and won't let merchants advertise in the forum.

 

The point is, the "no advertising in the Poser forum" policy has been active for roughly 10 years.  Longer than I've even been a member of Renderosity.  This is not a new policy, nor are we doing anything new.  Anyone who's been a member and actually paid attention knows what is and isn't allowed, and to ask for help if there's a grey area.
